Latona had completely memorized the content of the documents.
She held a small badge in her left hand, which she could use to convey different messages by tapping in different ways.
She had just tapped a few times, relaying to Hewitt that Garrett was not here.
Now all she needed to do was leave and tell Hewitt what she had noted down.
Latona walked up to the door and gripped the handle with her hand.
She didn't turn it.
It was too quiet.
Latona glanced at the door panel; it wasn't made of the standard soundproof material.
She closed her eyes and listened for a few seconds.
She could hear breathing and heartbeats.
But there were no footsteps.
She let go of the handle.
Latona slowly backed away to the pink children's desk.
Two quick successive taps would signal that she was in danger.
But she didn't want Hewitt to come down, because she wasn't sure if he could escape unharmed after that, and it might also alert Garrett.
